Is the Ionian mode the natural major scale? And the Aeolian mode the natural minor scale? In your country? I'd love to read input from actual musicians, from their countries.
It's just different terms for the same thing
>>216604585Ionian and Aeolian are Greek terms that used actual rational fractions. Minor and major is modernslop that uses twelfth roots of two for some slopified approximation with 10000 exceptions to the rule (because 12th roots of 2 are SURPRISINGLY irrational).
Right so I will ignore Ionian and Aeolian in my list of modes then since they are just natural major and natural minor scale respectively
